"Embassy Suites always deliver and the Portland, Me location was a top 5 visit. Great facility, clean, all staff were super nice and helpful and the food breakfast and dinner was awesome! We had trouble finding a hotel, and almost didn’t take this location due to the airport. Great location and we never heard anything, not even the jets at the airport. So glad we stayed with Embassy Suites, we’d stay here again while in Portland, ME."

"This was one of the nicest hotels we’ve stayed in, and we’ve stayed in quite a few. The view from the room was amazing, the staff was very friendly and very helpful for even the smallest questions. They offered information that was helpful to a visitor. One of the best things was the shuttle. It not only goes back-and-forth to the airport, but it will bring you to your dinner reservation and other places on the Peninsula. The staff was so accommodating. I can’t recommend this highly enough."
